Requirements

• The Light Control requires 120-volts AC.

• If you want to use Manual Mode, the control must be wired through a switch.

• Some codes require installation by a

qualified electrician.

• This product is intended for use with the enclosed gasket and with a junction box marked for use in wet locations.

• Note: This product is not recommended for use where the outside temperature is below -10° F.

MANUAL MODE

Manual mode only works at night because daylight returns the sensor to AUTO.

Flip the light switch off for one second then back on to toggle between AUTO and MANUAL MODE.

Manual mode works only with the ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10 position.

INSTALLATION

For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall switch for replacement.

❒ Route the Light Control’s wires through the large

gasket holes.

❒ Twist the junction box wires and fixture wires together

as shown. Secure with wire connectors.

For under eave installation, the sensor head must be rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper

operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

For eave mount only:

❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp

screw joint.

Clamp Screw

❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so the

controls face down.

Controls

If the sensor pops out of the ball joint, loosen the clamp screw and push the sensor back into the ball joint. Tighten the clamp screw when done.

WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL.

❒ Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker. ❒ Remove the existing light fixture. ❒ Install the mounting strap as shown using two screws

that fit your junction box.

❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fixture

while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger can be threaded through the hole in the center of the cover plate. The small end then goes into one of the slots on the mounting strap.

MOUNT THE LIGHT CONTROL.

❒ Align the Light Control cover plate and cover plate

gasket. Secure with the mounting bolt.

❒ Push the Rubber Plug firmly into place. ❒ If a wet location junction box was not used, caulk the

wall plate mounting surface with silicone weather sealant.

Push Rubber Plug Firmly into Place.

To avoid water damage and electrical shock, keep lamp holders 30° below horizontal.

❒ Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts

but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180° from the factory setting. When screwing in the lamps, do not overtighten.

❒ Install the lamp covers. Align the tabs on the lamp

covers with the holes on the lamp holders. Gently press lamp covers until the tabs snap into the holes on the lamp holders.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT

❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.

NOTE: Sensor has about 1 1/2 minutes warm up period

before it will detect motion. When first turned on, wait about 1 1/2 minutes.

❒ Turn the RANGE control to the mid position and the

ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

Avoid aiming the control at:

• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating vents and air conditioners. These heat sources could cause false triggering.

• Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.

• Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.
